American Gods season 2 to premiere in March 2019

American Gods fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the second season will finally arrive on Amazon Prime Video on 11th March 2019.

Debuting a new episode weekly, Prime members in more than 200 countries and territories (excluding the US) will be able to see the 8-part second season. American Gods stars Ricky Whittle (The 100) as Shadow Moon and Ian McShane (Deadwood) as Mr. Wednesday.

In Season Two, the battle between Old Gods and New Gods continues to brew as we join Mr. Wednesday just a few short hours after his declaration of war and the epic showdown that ensued at Easterā€™s party. While Mr. World (Crispin Glover, Alice In Wonderland) plans revenge for Wednesdayā€™s attack, Mr. Wednesday continues his quest to pitch the case for war to the Old Gods with Shadow, Laura (Emily Browning, Sucker Punch) and Mad Sweeney (Pablo Schreiber, Orange is the New Black in tow.

When things donā€™t go as planned after an encounter at the House on the Rock, both Old and New Gods, as well as those they meet along the way, find themselves on quests across America ā€” all destined in some way for Cairo, Illinois. Shadow will begin to understand this strange world of the gods and carve out a place in it as a believer in order to survive. But change will require sacrifice.

American Gods is a one-hour drama adapted from Neil Gaimanā€™s (Stardust) best-selling novel about a war brewing between Old Gods and New Gods.
